A descriptive survey design was used, with a sample of 148 health workers selected from Iyi-Enu Mission Hospital in Ogidi, Anambra State using the Yaro Yamane formula. Data was collected via questionnaires and analyzed using percentages and chi-square test. The findings revealed that 92% of respondents were aware of the positive impacts of ICT in promoting patient-centered care, improving quality of care (89%), and educating both professionals and patients (85%). However, 74% agreed that insufficient system access permissions impeded the full benefits of ICT in healthcare. Barriers identified included poor internet connection (68%) and system lags/freezes (62%). Testing the hypothesis“there is a significant influence of ICT on workflow and communication among clinical workforce” using chi-square showed a test statistic of 18.53 against a critical value of 3.84 at 0.05 level of significance. Since the test statistic exceeded the critical value, the null hypothesis was rejected. Thus, there is a significant positive influence of ICT adoption on clinical workflow and communication. Proposed solutions centered on the implementation of data security and privacy measures (78%) and investment in stable, fast internet connectivity (65%). Addressing these key issues can help improve ICT adoption for enhanced healthcare delivery. The hospital should prioritize high-speed, reliable connectivity and data protection to enable clinical staff to fully utilize ICT systems and leverage associated benefits....Preview Download Preview +Other Health Information Management project topics and materials you might be interested in»Analysis of filing system and consequences of misfiling»Evaluation of the problems and constraints facing health record keeping and professionals»Impact of health information management in healthcare delivery»Assessment of challenges of health information management practice in General Hospital Ilorin, Kwara State»Analysis of filing system and consequences of misfiling patients health records in University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Kwara state»A study into causes of misfiling among health information management professionals in health records department - case study of University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Kwara state»Evaluation of confidentiality of patient health records among hospital staff»Factors militating against effective documentation in health care delivery system in University of Benin Teaching Hospital Benin City, Edo state»Effect of lack of health information computerization in the primary health care system»Evaluation of patient appointment system - a case study of university of Ilorin teaching hospital»Causes and consequences of breach of confidentiality of patient health information in Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos state»Impact of health statistics in the health care delivery system at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara State»Impact of electronic medical records on patients waiting time in health care delivery system in Federal Medical Center, Asaba, Delta state»Evaluation of the importance of health information management in primary health care»Knowledge and perception of health information management professionals on electronic coding for quality clinical data in University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara state
